Hi all, Does anyone have any i\dea if it would be possible to create a Facet in C++ & use dll access to to use it in view, or do all facets haveto be rebol based?? Thank You!! Ammon

Hi, good question! I am not sure if it will fit your needs, but some time ago Jeff posted here some interesting example, of how to manipulate Rebol data directly in memory in external environment (.dll). The idea was to have some e.g. image data, referenced by word (e.g. img: load %some-image.jpg) and then create structure, where the member of the structure is going to be your 'img). That way you can get pointer to real 'img location, but in external environment .... Maybe Jeff could show us simple little tiny .dll, showing us some simple .dll image data manipulation ... and voila - Rebol/Effects is born :-) Cheers, -pekr- Ammon Cooke wrote:

Hello list,

Would be great if we could "redirect" for example output from mpeg video player into view's face using .dll ;-) I was also thinking about /View browser plug-in(BTW does anyone know some news regarding its developement?)... What about possibility to access browser's document object tree from the plug-in so we can for example dynamically change html code or even make dynamic VRML worlds powered by Rebol(HW accelerated 3Dgfx!)! This would be end of all vbscripts, jscripts, javas and similar crap Cyphre

The reason I ask is I would like to create a good syntax highlighting Text Editor in Rebol, but according to what some of the ppl on this list it might be a little to slow to do so with the view or draw dialects. If I could create one in C++ that would be awesome. Thanks!! Ammon Petr Krenzelok wrote:

I was playing with the idea of text highlihting week ago and after about one hour of experimenting found possible solution. I have some pre-beta code where I'm able to type,edit and colorize parts of text and the speed is not so bad but I need some time to make it better...hope I'll release the first results next week...

Hi Richard You can find the Netscape and IE plug-in beta versions on http://www.reboltech.com/plugins.html. I have tried the IE version which seemed to go well, download window popped up, acknowledge accepted and browser restarted. However, when selecting one of the examples the browser is closed/disappears (I use IE 5.50.4134.0600), I am asked to open or save the rebol file. If I select open then the Rebol/View Desktop comes up. I have asked Sterling for further information. Regards Marcel
